“Flame” Total Eclipse of the Heart, Bonnie Tyler

Once upon a time, there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

This song came out right after my first boyfriend and I broke up. I was heartbroken and mourning the first love I had lost. I like the symbolism of light and a burning flame. The candle on her head will continue to burn until the heart is no longer broken and has been mended by dripping wax.
